One of my favourite Seasonal celebrations is upon us! MAY DAY - or as I knew it growing up: FAIRY DAY. On May Day the warmth and energy that brings forth new life is celebrated with song, dance, and merriment.

Spring is Here!

Spring is Here!

All around is GREEN! New life is bursting forth every day. The birds are busy building nests. Signs of Spring abound. Rainy days give the earth the drink plants and trees needs to refresh and grow and make muddy puddles that are so fun to splash in!
